Because Mimi was so annoying in the first series. While all other children tried to do anything about the situation they were in, Mimi all the time was thinking about herself. And in the Zero Two she looked... like a deluxe woman from brothel (IMO of course).

Agreed, Nemomon, the Cthulu influenced stories were fun. I'm hoping, probably in vain, that as the characters are older and a lot more mature we'll have a similarly more grown up and complex plot....oh wait, maybe not complex...morally complex? I'm failing to articulate myself....Just something more challenging and suitable for a group of teens who are closer to being adults than kids. I certainly wouldn't mind it to be darker and scarier - cliche, I know, but I like to see characters being pushed to their limits, and that's more difficult with older characters.

I wonder how integrated digimon are going to be in the human world since the end of 02?

I think Gabumon and Yamato will show up. After all Yamato was Taichi's rival . Not to mention that Taichi will be unable to go Omegamon without Yamato. But yeah, even while I despised Mimi very much, if her appearance will be changed in this new series, I might stop disliking her.

Zen, do You remember the "His Master's Voice" episode of Zero Two? Despite the fact that it was an episode fully related to the Cthulhu myths, it was an example of good episode. The Scubamons tried to rape Hikari, and the whole episode was so dark, and in fact mature. I would like to see such episodes in the new series too.

While I do liked all the seasons of Digimon (yes, I do like the Xros Wars too), I think the most mature season was the Zero Two - the night, Demon, BelialVandemon, Oikawa's storyline. I could feel the danger in it roaming from each corner. I didn't feel the same danger in the Adventure. Despite seeing the scenes of Wizardmon's death (my favorite Digimon), and Gottsumon & Pumpkimon deaths.

One more thing, I think Digimon fans could enjoy seeing in the series. Basically two things. First is the "real" Ryou (from Wonderswan games) and his and Ken's storyline. I for sure would not mind if again the scenes from the Wonderswan games would appear in the new series. The scene of the dark spore of Millenniummon affecting Ken in the Zero Two series was great.

And the other thing is the "original" DigiDestined. We know nothing about them, except that their silhouettes look exactly as the current DigiDestined, and that they sealed Apokarimon. They would be great villains if they were corrupted somehow during the flow of the series. Or even if not, their addition could be good to the plot, given if the Digimon Staff would do a good usage of them.

About the Zero Two's ending. I think we can be sure that the characters survived the events of this new series... But I think we can tell that even before the series started, after all we know how the seasons of Digimon were looking like. But there's another option. For example Bagramon. He's still alive, and while he isn't a villain anymore, he still has the power to change the time flow. The new season would take a place in a different time space, and therefore the happy futures of the DigiDestined may never happen.

I remember His Master's Voice, yes. It was interesting at the time. It became a little more disturbing when I re-watched it on a nostalgia fest as an older teen, but a whole series that dances on the edge of something more nightmarish in a similar way would be lovely. The arc with the dark spore and Ken was definitely my favourite part of 02.

I'm not familiar with the games, so I'd have to take your word for what happened in them. I'd actually like to know more about the Pit of Despair from the original Adventure. If that could tie in with the Dark Ocean in some way, it could make for an interesting story.

The problem with bringing back the original characters after 15 years is that it's likely they won't be able to reference the old series too often for fear of alienating potential new viewers. So, I'm just going to sit tight and hope for something genuinely interesting storywise, but keep my expectations low (that way, I'll be pleasantly surprised whatever happens!).

Hehe, one of my friends says that the new season rather won't be worse than Frontier (he dislikes it). My second friend each time I mention the new season says that I changed his mood to worse... You say that You have Your expectations low. It's funny to see what people think about the new season .

Why that episode was disturbing? Because of Hikari's behaviour?

The story said in the Wonderswan games is rather interesting, it adds backstory to Ken, why he became the Digimon Kaiser, and how Ryou from Digimon Tamers fought alongside Ken, and who Cyberdramon really is. In fact Ryou from the WS games is a superb character, unlike Ryou from the Tamers.

I'm not sure about the problem with the Original DigiDestined. They as well could again mention in the new season who they were, or just do not mention at all. But in fact Digimon series is full of mysterious places, holes and other things that never were explaoned. I hope they at least will touch some of them...

To be honest, I can't say I like them so much. Tai's face is rather fierce. Digimon had very distinctively drawn characters in the first three or four series and a definite 'house style' so to speak, and I can't see any trace of that here. I guess it isn't surprising, seeing as the original art team isn't on board for the series and the people involved from fifteen years ago have possibly retired.

Anyway, I'd like to keep an open mind. Maybe I'll feel happier once they're animated or the original voice acting casts come back.

If I think of it as a whole new character reinterpretation, with the essences of the characters kept the same, it doesn't feel too bad. In fact, it's kind of refreshing, and it does amuse me that Yamato's hair has gone back to his Season 1 David Bowie cut!
